I have made a template to put the (ADE) page numbers in the subtitle field using a custom column "pages" and the pagecount plugin:

Code:

program:
	if field('#pages') then
		 template('{#pages} pages')
		fi

I put this template both in the Calibre "Configure this device" dialogue (only available when the device is connected) and also in the Kobo Utilities plugin "Update metadata in Device Library" subtitle field.

It works perfectly if I manually update the metadata, using the Kobo Utilities plugin or the Calibre "update cached metadata" feature from the device menu.

However it does not seem to send the subtitle automatically with the other metadata when I send a book to the device.

Is it possible to include this metadata automatically when I send a book? Did I do something wrong with my configuration?
